A page to share random musings... an odd butterfly fluttering around.. a rare bloom to talk about... my next trip to plan... and yes, the new maid has joined!
A page belonging to an author, a traveller, a compulsive decision maker of late... do keep dropping in to catch up on some gupp-shupp with me and do be prepared to put up with some anaap-shnaap rantings too :D

Soul being taken to heaven, hell or whatever! (Photo by: KJS Chatrath )

Not
noticing any new post by me on the Facebook for 10 long days, half a dozen of
my friends got together in concern.

‘Well, our friend Chat used to be very active on the
Facebook- about 10 posts a day and now there has been no new post for ten full
days, so one must conclude that the inevitable has happened’said the oldest of my friends initiating the
conference.

‘Oh
merde’, exclaimed my friend who had learnt French at the
local Aliance Francaise half a century ago.

‘He was quite a rummy, that chappie Chat’, said one
of my friends who is an avid fan of P.G. Wodehouse.

‘Since he was an atheist, he couldn’t have been
admitted in ‘hell’, though I personally feel he was fully qualified for it, and
of course he was under qualified for an entry to heaven’ said anotherone of my ‘friends’ and added, ‘Wonder where
do such fellows go after death.’

‘Good heavens’, was all that my holy religious type
friend could say.

‘What the hell’ was what another disappointed friend
added.

‘The chappie hadn’t lost it yet but the poor thing
had started losing things lately- you know, passport, suitcase and that sort of
rummy. Yes but one thing the old scoundrel didn’t lose till the end was his
sense of humour’, interjected the Wodehouse admirer friend.

‘Tut, tut, said the politically correct type,
reminding all of the old limerick ‘Of the gone and the dead, nothing but the
good shall be said’!

And then there was a dead silence. The friend
chairing the conference call said, ‘Friends, a new entry on FB by Chat has been
just noticed’ he divulged.

‘What! Does it mean that he has managed to get an FB
connection up there?’ queried a friend.

‘Hellno! It
means that he is travelling and having a chilled beer some where in this world
and here we are trying desperately to find some good things to say about
thatold rogue’said the friend chairing the meetingand concludedby announcing that the meeting was over but thoughtfully added, ‘Let’s
have a drink to it!’
